Clearing QDateEdit

[jpujolf]

Hello all,

I'm working with QDateEdit widgets showing Date values stored on a database. I often find NULL values that will be shown on screen as 01/01/2000 ( the forms are created with designer ).

I want to let the QDateEdit widget "clean & fresh" when this occurs ( The final user will understand better an empty value than an strange value... ). What can I do ? Any ideas ?

I've been searching on this forum and somebody said that TT guys sent him a little sample, but I haven't found it anywhere. If you have it...

Thanks,

Jordi.

Try using setSpecialValueText().

Another try could be to reimplement QDateTimeEdit::dateTimeFromText to return some special date if NULL is found and then use setSpecialValueText() to ask the box to display an empty string.
